Job description

Coventry University Group is a global education group with a mission of Creating Better Futures. Over two centuries, we have flourished in Coventry and now also deliver access to our range of high-quality education and services through bases in London, Scarborough, Belgium, Poland, Egypt, Dubai, Singapore, Africa and China.

We have a great story to tell and we are reshaping our Marketing and Communications teams to help us reach new audiences in fresh and engaging ways. Thanks to our innovative colleagues across the Group, there is plenty of great content to tap into and you’ll get to work in a creative and collaborative environment with some really talented people. Our main base is Ryton Gardens, a fresh, modern office just outside Coventry with large, landscaped gardens, free parking and free shuttle buses to the city centre – but we have colleagues based in several of our locations and go where the work needs us to be.

Coventry University Group does not stand still – innovation is part of the DNA here – and we are always looking to improve everything we do. That means it will never get boring, you will always be challenged, but you will be supported by amazing colleagues as part of an organisation that is making a difference to people’s lives.

The Role:

You will be based in the Marketing and Communications department of Coventry University Group, and will assist the Events and Communications Officers with the delivery of events and communications in support of the 2030 Group Strategy.

You will help organise the various components of a series of high-profile events, promoting the Group and enhancing its reputation with target audiences. Some events activity will not focus on hosting our own events but placing our speakers, collateral and strategic messaging within other high-profile events that connect with our target audiences.

You will need excellent interpersonal skills including communication skills, both verbal and written. The role is based in Coventry but this is a Group role so some travel may be required and some events will occur outside of normal working hours.

The Successful Applicant:

To excel in this role, you will need:

  • Ability to develop and sustain close working relationships within the marketing team and with external suppliers and partners.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication and organisational skills with the ability to work to tight deadlines.
  • Experience of dealing effectively and efficiently with queries and requests, as well as skills in relationship management, negotiation and persuasion.
